The National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons has disclosed that approximately 1.1 million small limbs and light weapons circulating within the country cannot be properly traced or accounted for.

According to the commission, this number of unaccounted-for weapons, out of a total of 2.3 million currently in circulation, poses a significant danger to the nation’s security.

Speaking on the fringes of a regional conference aimed at tackling the humanitarian consequences of homemade anti-person mines, Frank Boateng Asumani, the head of the commission's National Arms Marking Program, stressed the continuous efforts to reduce the spread of these weapons.

"The commission is currently looking for funding to determine the level of proliferation we have in the system. Currently, there are 2.3 million small and light weapons in circulation, of which 1.2 million are legally registered and the remaining 1.1 million cannot be accounted for." Pump-action guns, handguns, AK-47s, and fi****ms made locally are all under discussion." 😟😟
